re: Stage Busta

Who was it trying to get up on stage with Burning Spear and what was his problem? big thanks to Burning Spear for continuing to play and for all the people backstage that rushed the man off without serious incident.

Many thanks to all those who helped put on the fest again this year and too all the artists who made the treck. I especially enjoyed Dezarie for the first time, Israel Vibrations, Midnite, Don Carlos and Burning Spear. Much respect to Don Carlos for always mixing with the people afterwards....

That was Tosh? I was backstage when it happened and it was quite a scene. He tried to get on once, but they pushed him back. Then about five minutes later he made a move for the stairs and got stopped again so he climbed a rail like the cops were after him and got on stage. The crew removed him to one side and he ran out of the backstage area. Then, after the show, Spear left right after he got off stage. He literaly walked off stage, got into a four runner and was gone, C-Ya!

If Tosh was there, why didn't he join Fully's set in the AM? Why would someone like Tosh pull such a stunt and make himself look so foolish? I don't think it was him.

it would of made more sense to bill him with fully's band seeing how it was a "peter tosh celebration" ...
i think it was a totally unnessesary stunt, however i see where he's coming from, and i do feel sorry for him. it was caused by some mix up with the promoters or something...

that's not how it has been explained to me but regardless of how it went down he acted like a spoiled baby. No father would be proud of such childish behavior and disrespect to burning spear. I don't feel sorry for him at all

Andrew Tosh seems to be vexed that Fully Fullwood and crew have been doing the "Peter Tosh Celebration Tour" throughout Europe and the U.S. This is strictly between Andrew Tosh and Fully, and has nothing to do with the promoters of SNWMF.

I don't know anything about who holds the 'rights' to do such a tour (Andrew has been doing a "Reggae Mylitis Salutes Peter Tosh" tour). Perhaps Andrew has a legitimate gripe in that regard, but to take his frustrations out on Burning Spear, the SNWMF sound system and all the fans in attendance only accomplished one thing - getting him permanently banned from the festival....

And then Andrew speed out of the back stage area and past I bus at over 60 mph- fe sure- and almost ran down I bredren and sistren. Then the security came and I bredren had to sit there for over an hour while the cops come and take a 'report', etc.
Last the told InI they had planned on arresting Andrew.
Regardless, he is banned from the festival fe sure.

After reading these posts the story is coming more clear... if his band WAS there though - why didn't they fill the slot left open by the Diamonds? As for his behavior - yeah, he has all of his fathers bad temperments and vexations - him need more of the love...
